Resumo: | Purpose: This study aimed to examine the factors associated with the development of higher burden in informal care-givers of patients with dementia, using dyadic data. Design and Methods: Seventy-two dyads of patients with dementia and their informal care-givers were assessed, the former in terms of behavioral-psychological symptoms and autonomy, the latter in terms of burden and individual needs. Findings: Care-givers at risk for developing higher burden are those who are female, whose care recipient present psychiatric symptoms and lower autonomy, and those who recognize the need for more information/support. Practice Implications: Interventions should offer care-givers the tools to provide care, maintaining their psychological well-being. Interventions should target not only common aspects of care-giver burden but also the specificities of caring for a person with dementia. |
